Security News > 2024 > March > Okta vs Duo (2024): Which IAM Tool Is Best for Your Business?
While both Okta and Duo offer strong identity management features like multi-factor authentication, user provisioning, single sign-on and endpoint visibility, there are still notable differences in how each vendor approaches IAM. Duo, which is now part of Cisco Security, takes a more unified approach to IAM, while Okta uses a two-pronged approach: workforce identity cloud and customer identity cloud.
While pricing in both Okta and Duo is based on the number of users, Okta's is further determined by the product you choose.
With Duo, users can get push notifications available on the Duo mobile app, WebAuthn, biometrics, hardware tokens and passcodes.
While the Okta and Duo platforms prioritize MFA for security, Okta offers a more extensive selection of authentication options.
The Duo Network Gateway is Duo's remote access proxy, which can streamline secure remote access for organizational members.
Okta integrates well with notable business applications such as Slack, DocuSign, Workday, Zendesk and AWS. In comparison, Duo integrates with many platforms but tends to lean more toward the Cisco ecosystem.
